Production is under way on the Aaron Sorkin-penned Universal-produced Steve Jobs biopic, and thanks to the high-powered zoom lenses of the entertainment press we have a glimpse of the main characters in costume. So now we now know what Michael Fassbender looks like when dressed up as Steve Jobs complete with the long locks and bowtie, as well as Seth Rogen with extra-messy hair and Steve Wozniak’s glasses.

Casting in films can be difficult, and while we have little doubt about Fassbender’s abilities as an actor, he’s kind of lacking in the “looks like Steve Jobs” department. There’s only so much a German-Irish actor can do to look like the American-born Swiss-Syrian Jobs, we suppose. But it’s not the facial features that will really sell Fassbender as Jobs — it’s the mannerisms and speech patterns. At least he’s not Tom Cruise.

For what it’s worth, we’re definitely getting a Wozniak vibe from Rogen here and not so much of his most-recent cinematic venture.

It’s not exactly a shock, but a new report says that Microsoft has ended production of the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet. The device is the last product made that used the ARM-based Windows RT as its operating system.

Humble Bundle is at it again with yet another great mobile bundle. This time, the purveyor of cheap games for a good cause has teamed up with Cartoon Network to offer up 11 titles for your Android device.

Although it started with Rogers, it seems as though TELUS has now joined the party in rolling out OS 10.3.1.2072. We’ve received several reports the OS is now appearing on devices when owners check for software updates and is readily available to download via OTA. If you’re seeing it, go ahead and grab it. Of course, let us know how the process goes for you in the comments. Sadly, it appears as though it’s only for the Classic, just as with the Rogers release. No word on any other carriers for the moment.

If you still want to get your hands on the older, but still solid, Nexus 5 smartphone from Google, you now have yet another chance. The Google Play Store has re-listed the phone once again at its $349 starting price, but only in the black color.

The online retailer ShopRiteDelivers is currently selling the Xbox One console from Microsoft for a mere $299.99. This is the lowest price we have seen for a new unopened version of the console since its launch in November 2013.

Though the GT Advanced saga is now at a close, Apple appears to have some new plans for the Mesa, Arizona factory that once housed the sapphire-screen manufacturer. According to a new report, the tech giant will turn the factory into a new data center.

From Bloomberg:

The data center will employ 150 full-time Apple employees and will create 300 to 500 construction and trade jobs, Doug Ducey, Arizona’s governor, said in a telephone interview. The factory will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy, including from a new local solar farm, Apple said.

Bloomberg also notes that the deal will see Apple investing upwards of $2 billion in the conversion of the factory to a data center.

Apple previously committed to repurposing the Mesa, Arizona facility in November of last year. At the time, it was unclear of how the company would go about doing so, but this news signals that it is indeed committed to creating jobs in the community in the wake of GT Advanced’s bankruptcy.

Gorillized’s Outline was developed to be a OneNote alternative before OneNote hit the Macintosh last year. It was originally designed as a mere reader of OneNote files on iPad, but turned into a full-blown editor and has since added Mac support too. That makes it an interesting alternative to both OneNote for people who don’t want to part of Microsoft’s ecosystem, and to Evernote for people who want something different.

Outline integrates support for Microsoft OneDrive accounts and can also work with OneNote notebook formats, so if you prefer to keep a really streamlined Microsoft-centric workflow, you can. But Outline works independently as well, and doesn’t suffer from the same limitations — for example, Outline has no problem whatsoever storing your notebooks completely offline.

Outline uses the by-now-familiar notebook interface as the central gathering place of notes. You can create as many notebooks as you need, with as many pages as you need, divided into sections to help keep things orderly. Pages can be indented to make them easier to find. What’s more, sections can be password-protected if there’s delicate information you don’t want to get out.

Like OneNote, you can just position the cursor anywhere on the page you want and start typing. You can also drag and drop images into place, embed links, attach files and annotate to your heart’s content.

Outline uses a number of text formatting conventions and lets you reflow text easily using different styles that are accessible both with menus and with keyboard shortcuts. I couldn’t find a way to remap styles, though, like you can with a word processor.

The software went through a major revamp last fall to better suit iOS 7 and Yosemite’s more austere user interface elements, along with other refinements like tables, better creation of links, improved PDF handling and more. The most recent release adds support for Apple’s share extensions too.

OneDrive isn’t the only online service Outline supports. It also works with Box.com and Dropbox. Outline is also available on the iPad, so you can sync notes and work easily between platforms if you prefer.

I like Outline’s clean user interface and its familiar OneNote-derived hierarchy and easy integration. Now that OneNote is available for the Mac, I expect that Outline’s developers will continue to find ways to differentiate their product from Microsoft’s, and we’ll see the pace of development accelerate away from merely aping OneNote into some unique spaces.

What worries me, however, is Outline’s stability. I experienced a crash while using it that ended up eating my data. Not cool at all.

If you like OneNote-style organization but you’d like to support an independent developer and have the option of working independently of a Microsoft-centric workflow, Outline may be a good option. Just be wary of product stability, and make sure to have a backup.

It looks like Tinder users in the U.S. will soon be able to undo those unfortunate accidental left-swipes. Tinder said today that the launch of its Tinder Plus service, which allows users to undo their last swipe by paying a monthly fee, is set to launch sometime in March.

The news comes via TechCrunch, which spotted a change in Tinder’s App Store description for its latest update:

Both of Tinder’s mobile apps recently received updates on the respective app stores where the feature was mentioned in the app’s update text – hinting at an imminent arrival. However, Tinder says that Plus is not yet being enabled for end users in the U.S. at this time – and the app’s update text descriptions will be edited to reflect this.

TechCrunch also notes that, though Tinder hasn’t yet announced a price for the service, Tinder Plus was rolled out in certain international test markets late last year at various price points ranging from 99 cents on the low-end to a more insane $19.99 on the high-end.
